Growing faithful Christians to engage and impact the culture with the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
The process of developing this vision took over two years and involved hundreds of people from the congregation. After much prayer for the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit, this Strategic Vision Plan was developed and will guide our church for the next five to ten years.
Our vision is to grow faithful Christians who will boldly and in faith seek to engage and impact the culture with the transforming power of Jesus Christ to the glory of God. We want to share His outrageous love with those around us and around the world who so desperately need to experience it.
There were three presentations of the Strategic Vision Plan to the congregation in the fall of 2016 by members of the Strategic Vision Planning Committee. The documents below were distributed at these presentations.
